Yes David. I have been told it is a 20mm BUT also the 20mm is a rack load and not a belt fed machine gun... the 20mm has also been said by some to be a cannon... these (in the pic) were often used as "Deck Guns" and used for Anti-Aircraft on board ships. They were used in the Magon Delta of Nam on some of the Phaler boats I have been told.. (50 cal short barrel... 20mm rack and belt fed and 40mm but much larger. However, point being... its one hell of a gun and the cartel has a bunch of 'um' I have been told by very sensitive sources inside the Mexican Army Intel.
I do not think you can get one of these across the border in a pickup truck or buy one at a Pawn Shop or Gun show here in the US.. None-the -less... ATF and The Homeland Security are the 'Experts' on these maters. They know the difference between a rifle, a machine gun, or a cannon. We are in good hands... Perhaps I just need to let them do their job in protecting me.
